Chapter 1102 Playoffs, another level of competition (Part [-])
Lan Shengli's coaching debut in the playoffs has already begun.

Facing the Nuggets, which have undergone huge personnel changes during the season, the Clippers seem to be well prepared.

However, judging from the first round of the game, the Nuggets entered the game state faster.

On the Clippers side, Harden missed a throw, while on the Nuggets side, Lawson made a small hit during the breakthrough process, which caused Love to foul and scored the ball.

"Swipe~!!!"

Against the boos, Lawson made the free throw steadily.

The Clippers quickly sent the bottom line.Hill dribbles over.

Here, Love and Nene are engaged in a fierce card position, and their hands are fighting together.

Love wants to take the initiative to catch the ball and attack, but Nene doesn't want to give it a chance.

Seeing this, Hill didn't pass the pass, and passed it horizontally to George who came over to catch the ball.

Facing Gallinari's defense, George hesitated. He didn't dribble or shoot directly. He was still waiting for his teammates to come over and continue to pass the ball.

Here, Love is still very active in the interior.

Although not completely stuck, George passed the pass.

"Crack!!"

However, George only focused on passing to Love and did not adjust the passing route at all.

The low pass arc was directly interfered by Gallinari in the air.

Then Lawson on the side quickly accepted the ball.

George made a very undeserved mistake.Lawson dribbled the ball and immediately pushed back.

Although both George and Harden were in front of Lawson, Lawson, who won the victory with speed, immediately completed a double overtaking~
Even though George is desperately trying to complete the chasing block, Lawson made a small pull in the air, switched his right hand to his left hand for a layup, and cleverly avoided George's block~
"Click~, brush~"

After the ball with a very strong spin hit the backboard, it spun directly into the net.

Lawson scored five points in a row.

The inexperience of the Clippers' main players in the playoffs soon became apparent.

Regarding the opponent's high-intensity oppressive defense, the Clippers' offensive end seemed to be out of order.

Lan Shengli stared at the field, but didn't speak.

Here it was replaced by Harden dribbling to the frontcourt.

Facing JR's defense, Harden still calmly signaled Jordan to step forward to do a pick-and-roll.

Jordan's wide body makes it difficult for Martin to come out and make big delays.

So Harden directly dribbled the ball with his left hand and rushed to the basket again.

The Nuggets still adopt a defensive method of shrinking the inside line, preventing Harden from easily attacking the basket.

Harden is still very calm, after seeing a teammate near the baseline from the corner of his eye, he jumped and passed the ball directly.

I saw the ball quickly came to George's hands.

Because Gallinari has recovered the basket, George has an excellent open opportunity.

Although George is not a stable outside shooter, but with such a wide open, he still has to shoot resolutely.

With a focused look, George aimed at the basket and threw the ball directly before Gallinari returned to the defense.

George looked at the ball falling to the basket, still maintaining his shooting posture.

"Oh~~~"

However, this open three-point shot ended up with sighs from all the fans, and the ball flew directly from one side of the basket to the other.

In the case of a wide open, George made a "three non-stick" shot, which was very outrageous.

Directly "passed" to Nene.

In a state of extreme tension, George's shooting was obviously deformed, which was not at a normal level at all.

Could it be said that entering the playoffs, the Clippers were directly out of the prototype~? !

Fortunately, the game has just started now, and there is still a chance to adjust.

"Could it be that I have to pay the tuition so soon~?!, the state of the team members is not right~!!, I still feel burdened and stressed~!"

Lan Shengli sighed as he watched the players return to defense.

Here, Nene gave the ball to Lawson, and Lawson roared away on the floor like a "supercar".

The Clippers' defensive vigilance is very high. Seeing Lawson rushing over, they immediately organized a defensive formation.

Hill defended Lawson and used his body to slow down Lawson.

Although slowing down, Lawson's offensive threat is still there. I saw Lawson and JR quickly complete a hand-off pass often used by the Clippers.

After the latter received the ball, seeing Harden, he was not in a hurry to go around the screen to chase, and directly pulled out a three-pointer from the spot.

"Swipe~!!!"

JR's standard and smooth shots made the Nets at the Staples Center splash.

Three points hollow into the net.

The Nuggets have already played an 8:0 offensive.

"Dum~!!!"

Lan Shengli didn't hesitate this time, gestured for a timeout with his hands, and rushed into the arena with his head down.

The difficulty of this game should have exceeded Lan Shengli's prediction before the game.

Moreover, the entire process of the competition was going in the direction analyzed by those experts.

The Nuggets achieved complete suppression of the Clippers on both offense and defense.

Watching the main players head down and sweating profusely as they walked toward the bench, you could feel that although they didn't score a single point, they were exhausted physically.

"Our defense is too loose~!!, we didn't give the opponent enough confrontation and strength~!!"

Harper said to Lan Shengli.

Lan Shengli listened and nodded.

"We need to make personnel adjustments, George is obviously out of shape~!!"

Another teaching assistant continued.

Lan Shengli was still listening and didn't say anything.

"Listen~, we haven't typed out what we practiced in training until now, it should never be~!!, everyone, adjust your breathing, don't have burdens and pressures, focus all your attention on the field, and go to each stage. During the round~!!, forget about the scoreboard~!!"

Lan Shengli quickly came among the players and said.

Although George's condition was not very good, Lan Shengli did not replace him.

Still a Five Tigers lineup.

Here Harden is still taking the initiative to undertake the offensive task. After relying on the pick-and-roll, he once again rushed into the inside like carrying a dynamite package.

"Beep~!!!"

Harden carried Martin again and made a very difficult layup, and the referee quickly whistled.

Harden drew a foul, walked to the free throw line, and finally had a chance to break the scoring drought.

So far in the game, only Harden's performance is the most normal and the most daring.

"Whoo~"

Harden came to the free throw line, taking a deep breath.

"Swipe~!!"

The first free throw was hit steadily.

"Yeah!!!"

The cheers finally erupted at Staples Center.

The Clippers have waited a long time for their first point in the playoffs this season.

"Swipe~!!"

The second free throw was also a steady hit, and Harden set an example that a champion should have.
